In the following days...

Ochiha Ochiha is deeply aware that although Kei's sister is very similar to her sister in essence, in terms of personality, she is really... well, completely opposite - Aya is indeed too energetic.

If there was Ken Hojo who allowed her to "vent her energy" in the past, then now that the latter is fighting with the team, the Uchiha belt has become "another new toy of the Husky" and is haunted all the time.

Hojo Aya circled around her sister: woof ~ woof ~ woof!

Uchiha: "..." She stopped moving helplessly and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Sister, don't you feel bored staying in the yard all day?"

"Okay?" Ochiha thought for a while and replied. In fact, in essence, she is still a relatively homely type. Although she also wants to travel around the ninja world, as the so-called "combine work and rest",

So after walking, she really prefers to stay in one place comfortably, rather than wandering around all day.

"But it's boring!"

"...Then what do you want?" Uchiha reminded him, "Ask in advance that leaving the clan is absolutely not allowed. For relatively weak women, it is not safe outside the clan. If you go out at will, you may

By dispersing the remaining forces within the clan, they may be caught and turned into a tool that threatens Uchiha and Hojo." She can allow Aya to do something, but the premise is that it cannot affect the safety of the rest of the people.

"I know." Hojo Aya puffed up her face, "That's why I didn't want to go out..."

"Then what do you want to do?"

"The Chrysanthemum Festival is coming soon! It should be almost the festival when Takeru and the others come back, so the women in the clan are preparing to eat, drink and use things in advance. Sister, let's go together too!" Hojo Aya said with a smile, and Uchi

Uchiha Ochi is different. She quickly became familiar with the women in the clan. Of course, this is not to say that Uchiha Ochi has a bad character, but her "identity" and body are destined to be difficult.

"Chrysanthemum Festival...?" Ochiha thought for a while, and there was indeed such a festival in early October. It didn't seem to be called that at first, but because it happened to be the season when chrysanthemums bloomed, it gradually got its name, and because it happened to be chestnuts

season, so some people also call it "chestnut festival".

"Yeah~" Hojo Aya nodded with a smile, "Sister, you also hope that you can greet your brother-in-law as soon as possible with the carefully prepared things~"

Uchiha: "..." No, thank you.

However, in the end, Hojo Aya was unable to do anything, and she was dragged out of the yard, and started preparations with the women of the clan.

You don’t know if you don’t prepare. Once you start preparing, you will find it quite troublesome.

By the way, it wasn’t until the Uchiha eldest brother actually participated that he realized that his brother-in-law had already arranged these things in advance before he left home, and then entrusted the matter to a highly respected female elder in the clan.

At once……

Hmm, so detailed.

Many times she felt that Madara-sama had such a younger brother probably because he saved the world in his previous life. And if Hashirama-sama's younger brother was indeed like this, then Hashirama-sama probably saved the world with Madara-sama in his previous life.

The "sudden arrival of the patriarch's wife" worried the women who were preparing for a moment. After all, such a thing had never happened before. They were also a little worried that she would take over the leadership forcefully based on her status, and then mess up everything that was originally arranged.

It was a mess. But soon, Uchiha Dai fully demonstrated his attitude with his eyes, smile, words and practical actions——

I'm not in good health, so I just brought my sister here to watch the fun and join in the fun and beat her up, so you can just deal with it as usual and don't pay attention to me.

It's not that women in the clan reject Uchiha Oui, it's mainly because the latter has really not participated in leading this matter in the past. Therefore, it is natural to be suspicious and worried. Moreover, they stay in the clan all year round, rarely have the opportunity to go out, and have almost no entertainment.

The women at the event have worked hard to arrange everything so that they can better wait to welcome their sons, brothers, fathers, husbands who will return soon... So, what's wrong with hoping that everything goes well?

In a Japanese-style meeting room.

The Uchiha smiled and declined the invitation to sit on the throne, but still let the female elder who was entrusted by the cheap brother-in-law, Mrs. Kana, sit on the main seat. This lady is forty years old this year, which is considered to have a long life in this era.

.

If the early death of men in the clan is due to the chaotic and dangerous reality, then many women die of pregnancy-related matters after marriage because they get married too early and do not know how to use contraception and have frequent children. Even if they do not, they may contract diseases and eventually continue.

On the sick bed, even Hui, the clan leader's wife, is like this. Those who can really live a long life... are indeed rare, well, to put it harshly, they are widowed at a young age, because they stay in a relatively safe clan and can only think openly.

If you live a decent life, you can live longer.

Mrs. Kana was like this, she was widowed in her teens. Her husband who died young was a cousin of Uchiha Tajima who had a good relationship with her at that time, so she could be regarded as watching Uchiha Madara and his brothers grow up.

On many matters within the clan, the two brothers trusted her.

In fact, she helped arrange many aspects of Uchiha Madara's marriage back then. She was the female elder who personally went to the Hojo family to teach Megumi on many matters.

Because the two had not been together for a long time at that time and had hardly seen each other after their marriage, Uchiha Oichi was not worried about being recognized by the other party as not Megumi. And to be honest, there is a reality in Uchiha -

If Madara-sama approves of her, then all other doubts and denials are invalid.

Back to business.

Mrs. Kana, who was sitting on her knees at the head of the table, looked a little serious, but she had a cheerful temperament and handled things neatly.

"The chrysanthemums are blooming very well this year, so we can move the chrysanthemums to various places in the clan recently. As usual, Ayi, you are responsible."

"yes."

"It's time to prepare chrysanthemum wine, chrysanthemum tea, chestnut cake, chestnut rice, and chrysanthemum and fruit materials in advance. Reiko, you are still in charge this year, so be careful. This is the first thing the men eat when they come back.

The first snack after the meal, the first sip of tea and the first sip of wine, there must be no problem with the ingredients."

"yes."

"Don't forget to prepare cotton cloth in advance."

"yes."

…

After giving instructions for a while and arranging everything in an orderly manner, Mrs. Kana looked at the patriarch’s wife who suddenly seemed to be interested in things within the clan, and said hesitantly: "Mrs. Hui, Miss Aya, I don’t know which one you want to participate in."

link?"

"I want to make chestnut cake!" Hojo Aya immediately raised her hand, "Takeru likes chestnuts the most! I want to make it for him myself!"

Hearing this, many women in the clan showed knowing smiles.

A smile appeared on Mrs. Kana's serious face. After all, this kind of affectionate love that does not hurt others is always touching and lovely. And, precisely because no one knows what will happen next.

What can happen in seconds, so you must seize every moment to express your love.

"So, Mrs. Hui, what about you? I remember Madara-sama is very fond of chrysanthemums and fruits..."

"It's okay..." Uchiha said hesitantly, "but...I'm not very good at this."

"It doesn't matter." Mrs. Kana replied, "We all work together and work together. The materials have been prepared in advance. Mrs. Hui, you just need to choose what you are good at."

"...Okay." Uchiha nodded, "I will try my best." Well, it shouldn't be difficult... right?

Mrs. Kana sighed in her heart: After seven years... Madara-sama can finally eat the chrysanthemum cake made by his wife...

But then again, it was a bit strange for the couple to have a good relationship only after seven years of marriage. However, it is better to get better than to stay bad.

After all, she had watched Master Madara grow up, and although she knew that she was not qualified to tell him anything, she still hoped that everything would go well for him.

In the following time...

Under the leadership of Hojo Aya, Uchiha Oiko began to participate in various preparations before the festival. But unknowingly, her job became...

Kneel down at the desk and write haiku seriously.

Nobles also celebrate the Chrysanthemum Festival, and they will happily enjoy chrysanthemums, drink chrysanthemum wine, and write various Japanese songs and haiku. Ordinary people naturally do not have such leisure. However, they also have their own customs.

For example...

At this moment, Uchiha Obi wrote a line of haiku and songs related to autumn on a small yellow piece of paper. The woman on the side was responsible for folding it. When the time comes, these pieces of paper will be tied with a yellow ribbon to the clan.

On the big tree near the door, men would randomly draw one after returning home to ask for luck.

For this reason, haiku must be written as "joyful" as possible. Otherwise, it would be unlucky to come back from a hard-fought battle and get a haiku that is similar to "The poor butterfly is old, and its soul is playing with the chrysanthemum."

In previous years, the haiku poems were all the same. Some women said there was nothing new about them, and they were just the same ones from time to time.

However, there is nothing that can be done about it. In this era, knowledge is a precious resource and is held by a few people. Even in a wealthy clan like Uchiha, there are many women in the clan who are not very literate.

Then, Hojo Aya came out and said, "You can ask my sister to write it! She really likes reading these!", and then, Uchiha tapes were rushed to the shelves. She was very happy that Megumi really liked these and herself.

I have indeed read a lot of related books recently, otherwise, the secret will most likely be revealed.

But then again...

She actually liked this job better than being confused about a bunch of ingredients. Of course, in order to make up for it, she also slightly modified some haiku to mix it in. Anyway, it's just about getting lucky~ Just be happy and don't have to worry so much.

In the blink of an eye, she finished writing another one and pushed it to the table. The woman waiting on the side immediately reached out to pick it up and read it word by word to the other illiterate women——

"A man comes from a field of flowers, and I go to a field of chrysanthemums dyed with fragrance."

"This is good, this is good!"

"Does this mean that the man who draws him should immediately go to admire the anus?"

"Just take it as what it means!"

…

Amid the laughter, Ochiha Ochi suddenly thought: This group of ordinary tribesmen are really easy to be satisfied. What they look forward to every day is just such a small happiness.

Well, suddenly I understand a little bit, the big cat is guarding their mood...

"Sister, sister, sister...?"

"Ah?" Uchiha came to his senses and asked, "What's wrong?"

"What are you thinking about in a daze?"

"I was thinking about Madara-sama..." Uchiha paused mid-sentence, because he realized that it was a bit inappropriate to express such emotion on this occasion. It was equivalent to "Everyone is celebrating someone who is treating me to dinner, but you opened your mouth to talk about the country."

"General trend" means...well, there is nothing wrong with it, but it is not commensurate with the environment.

Unexpectedly, her pause was regarded as "shy" by the women.

After all the women looked at each other...

Hojo Aya drawled a long voice: "Oh~ sister, you really miss your brother-in-law~"

The women immediately burst into laughter.

Uchiha tape: "???" I'm not, I'm not, don't talk nonsense...

The author has something to say: Ah Dai: I’m not, I don’t have it, don’t talk nonsense!!!
